• Notes

  Edward I was named for Edward the Confessor. He is known as the English Justinian because of his fame as a lawgiver. A member of the royal family of Anjou, or Plantagenet, he succeeded his father, Henry III, on 19 Aug 1272. He started a war against the Welsh in 1277, and finally subdued them in 1283. Wales then became part of the English realm. Edward I devoted most of his reign to conquering Scotland. In 1290, of the several men who claimed the Scottish throne, Edward chose John de Baliol. But he insisted that Baliol pay homage to him. The Scottish people were humiliated by this demand, and revolted. In 1296, Baliol joined the rebel forces, but Edward forced him to surrender. Edward carried back to London the great Stone of Scone, the coronation stone upon which Scottish kings had been crowned for hundreds of years. Later in the year, the Scots, led by William Wallace, again rebelled. Edward defeated them in 1298, but the Scots were not pacified. After a long struggle, Robert Bruce was crowned King of Scotland in 1306. Edward died on his way to subdue the new king. Edward's Scottish policy delayed the union of the two kingdoms for 400 years. He also did little to improve relations with France. But his need for money to supply his army and government led him to call a parliament that would represent the entire country. In 1295, the new parliament met. It consisted of representatives of the nobility, the church, and the common people. This system of representation set a model for later parliaments. Edward restricted the power of the king by accepting the rule that taxes could be levied and laws made only with the consent of parliament. He also sponsored laws aimed at destroying the fuedal system, and at limiting the power of the church. Edward I, "Longshanks" King Of England.
